How pleased were our campers?

2008 Camp Testimonials


“Thanks again for taking the time to put together your camp and allowing me to attend. It was first class, as it was last year. I enjoyed it very much, felt like I learned a lot from it and a lot of things came together for me during the two days.The chance to work with two D-I guys on my crew (both years) has been particularly helpful for many reasons. I look forward to those kinds of opportunities in the future. On another note, our whole crew was very appreciative you took the time to watch us for two full games.”

“I once again would like to thank you two gentlemen for the great camp you put on in Ypsilanti. I have been to many a camp, but yours is by far head and shoulders above the rest. I'm sure you are getting weary of hearing this. It was all around a great experience, from the staff to the accommodations.”

“I wanted to drop you a quick note complimenting you on the organization, professionalism, and quality of instruction provided at the camp this weekend. Congratulations on running a 1st class camp.  I appreciate the opportunity to be involved, thoroughly enjoyed the experience and became a better official as a result of the outstanding staff assembled.”

“Just wanted to say "Well done!" on the camp. I've been to many camps over my officiating career and the camp that you put together was well organized with top notch clinicians and great basketball! I appreciated the input that you gave on the court as well -- it's always interesting to hear things from a coach's point of view -- something that we aren't usually exposed to in an instructional environment.”

“Thank you for the opportunity to attend your camp. The environment was pleasantly refreshing and I enjoyed the different perspectives from each of the clinicians. You should be proud of the group you compiled for the camp. Everyone I interacted with was open to questions and frank in their responses. The input was more than welcome on my end.”

“Thank you for another great camp. As a camping veteran I can attest to yours being one of the best I have ever attended. Your staff is second to none as are your facilities and hospitality."

“Thank you for your camp this past weekend at Eastern Michigan.  You had a great group of clinicians that provided the necessary feedback for me to keep improving my game.”

“Thank you for the opportunity to learn and improve my abilities as an official.  I learned something from each clinician that I interacted with. The specific [and] detailed evaluations and individual one on one development time they took with me is much appreciated.  This was a great camp and I look forward to working with everyone in the future.”

"Once again, you guys put together a first class and professional camp that was absolutely a pleasure to attend. To assemble a staff of clinicians at one camp with the credentials as such is unbelievable.  Most impressive is how hard they work to share their knowledge.  Every other part of the camp such as, lodging, food, and organization was also great.”

"Thanks again for the great camp.  The staff was very professional and provided some great tips and advice which well help to become a better official. It was great learning from some of the best in the business. The organization and accommodations were first class; by far the best camp I have attended!”

“Nice job with the camp this past weekend, it was very well run and organized.  Also, the clinicians that we had on the courts did a great job of staying involved and providing some good feedback.”

2007 Camp Testimonials

"I have attended over 50 Division I camps over the past 15 years and I can tell you that it was one of the best I have ever attended.  It was first class from the very second I arrived at the hotel."

"I really enjoyed the camp atmosphere, very professional without feeling like it was just a camp to make money.  The staff was second to none and was a pleasure to work with.  I gained a wealth of knowledge and will apply it in my future endeavors.  I would recommend it to anyone."

"Thank you for an excellent MAC Officials Basketball Camp.  I truly enjoyed the time spent with you and your staff, as people, not just referees.  The extra knowledge that I gained from your very professional clinicians was just another bonus.  Before attending your camp, I felt as though I worked for some outstanding conferences, but after this past weekend, I now have a new outlook on what top notch means.  Now it is very clear to me why officials want to be associated with the MAC.  It is a first rate organization."

"As you stated in your meeting Friday night, one of your goals was to put together a first class camp.  I need to tell you it was accomplished and then some... it was a great job!  You are correct in saying there is no other camp in the country with a staff like yours.  The staff assembled was unbelieveable: a wealth of knowledge that was organized to cover every game, every court, every day.  Great guys, great information.  Once again, great job.  I totally enjoyed attending."

"Please accept my thanks for the opportunity to work the MAC Officiating Camp at Eastern Michigan.  I enjoyed the experience, and regardless of the outcome, came away feeling I was given an honest look by the MAC which means a lot these days.  Again, thanks for the opportunity."

"I want to thank both of you for running a great camp.  The clinicians, facilities, lodging, etc. were all first class.  I learned a lot and it was a great camp opportunity."

"Thank you for a great camp.  The staff was excellent with their critique and provided a ton of valuable information."

"Thank you for running a 1st class camp.  I really appreciate your effort to make us better officials.  You have a great plan for the MAC Conference."

"Kudos to you for an outstanding camp - Incredible teaching staff you assembled.  Wow.  I also want to commend you for the emphasis on value.  I think it was pretty obvious to most, given the accomodations and meals, that this was not a big money-maker for anyone; very refreshing and truly appreciated.  The golf/BBQ was a nice addition and gave us a chance to meet many of the clinicians and campers in a relaxed environment.  Overall, a first-class experience and ranks right up there with the best I've attended over my 10+ years of attending camps."

"Thanks for a great camp at Eastern Michigan University - the best camp I have been to.  I had a great time and learned some things in the process... what more could you ask for?"

"Honestly, it was the best camp I have ever attended.  The camp is run in a first-class manner from start to finish."
